County Code/Ordinance Violation HELP NEEDED ASAP

Looks like heaven to me.

I am going to be moving this to the (Florida) regional subforum, since I think this is more appropriate...

Let me add my 2 cents...

"Enclosed" usually means 4 walls and a roof.
Whether your officials recognize if the structure is "rigid" (i.e. wood, metal, etc.) or "pliant" (i.e. plastic sheeting, tarp, tent, canopy, etc.) would be coded in their books or up to the interpretation of the official.

You're basically operating a "junkyard."
One of the BIGGEST concerns is chemicals / fluids leakage into the ground.
USUALLY, if you can prove that all fuel / gasoline / coolant / oil / fluid have been removed and drained, that usually satisfies all the EPA bullshit.
That also basically changes a "non-op vehicle" into a pile of car parts.
Whether your officials will agree to this or not...is up to them.
This would be your best case scenario, IMO.
Sometimes, officials are also worried about fire hazards, so proof that you can contain a possible fire problem will also help your case - this usually means removing tires on top of all the flammable fluids...

Best suggestion is to go talk to the officials who cited you.
Only they can give you the answers you're looking for...
Keep in mind, that in most cases, they are usually willing to work with you to remedy this problem - it's called negotiating.
Keep in mind the above points, and you might get lucky.
But...don't hold your breath that they will budge; every once in a while you're going to run into stubborn assholes who will want to throw the book at you - that's life.

Good luck!
